It's Friday, which means that over at An Island Life it is time for Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays we take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, she asks a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Then everyone else asks a simple question of their own blog for others to answer.
My question:
Do you scrapbook? If so, what is your hint for keeping up with it?
I love to scrap because it gives me a creative outlet and the end result is so perfect! We love to look back at them. I would always finish the year by the child's birthday (it gave me a goal) but then I had baby #3 who just cannot be put down and now I'm pretty behind! Suggestions? You are not allowed to say "put the baby down" :) She is our last and I want to snuggle her forever!
Join me for my new blog carnival Kid Friendly Friday, right here today!
I do not scrapbook but I have wanted to do it. I have a friend who loves to scrapbook and she goes to scrapping parties. No kids, and they spend the day hanging out and scrapping. It is how she keeps up with it.
ReplyDeleteMe, I can't even get the pictures off my camera and into a photo album
I don't but I have thought of starting.
ReplyDeleteI've got lots of stuff with which I could scrapbook, but I haven't scrap-booked since about 2003!
ReplyDeleteI used to. Not so much anymore. I have done some of the photobooks from Shutterfly. That I can do!
ReplyDeleteNO ideas, I'm 4 kids behind! I won't be catching up for awhile. Actually my idea is to still take lots of pics and make sure you get them organized by date, so when your ready you can find what you need =)! Wish I had my pics for my older kids like this!
ReplyDeletedaughters scrapbook and keep a basketful for when they have an extra couple of minutes
ReplyDeleteScrapbooking? What is that? Sounds familiar. It's coming back to me. When was that? Oh I remember, I did that back in 1998.
ReplyDeleteMy kids 11 and 13 love to look at the two scrapbooks I made when they were little. I love doing them too, the creative stuff.
Like you and so many others, I have become well rounded and have so many projects going on all the time that I don't really get anything done. A bit here and a bit there. I like being able to do almost anything, but I have not got myself organized to the point of being both able to do something and really completing what I have done.
Sounds like I need to reassess myself again and get a bit more organized. (OK a lot more organized!)
Good question. Thanks for posting it!

I have to admit, I have never done it before. I think I was too afraid I would like it too much and spend WAY too much money on things. I love seeing what others do.
ReplyDeleteI do scrapbook, but I don't do it much. My girlfriend and I get together a few times a month to scrap.. but thats it!
ReplyDeleteNope, never had taken up scrapbooking. Just not my thing I guess.
ReplyDeletei used to but don't have the time for it anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy sister really loves the online versions & I must admit that it goes tons faster. I'm not really a big scrapper though. Want to be but am not.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting caught up.
I used to but I couldn't keep up either... will have to read your comments and hope for some help there.
ReplyDeleteI do digital scrapbooking but I'm VERY bad w/keeping it up.
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't scrap book. I use shutterfly to digital scrap book but that's it. My tip for that is to do it once a month and I do all my pages for that month. This weekend I will do my pages for February, January's I did at the end of last month. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteFunny you ask that... I just pulled out some scrapbooking stuff last night. I used to scrap every week with a girl friend - that is my suggestion, make it a girls night out and then you will actually work on it rather than doing household chores - but I haven't scrapped in about 3 years. Now that I have all these pictures of Lyla I am hoping to start now. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI adore scrapbooking. I would like YOUR hints. I'm behind right now!
ReplyDeleteI tried scrapbooking, but it made me a little crazy (crazier?).
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people have scrapping parties where they get a lot done at once!
I do scrapbook, but kinda have let it fall by the wayside since Callan was born. I do scrapbook for his stuff. But not for any of the other photos, etc. I have it all ready to go, just have not found the time. I would like to try digital scrapbooking too.
ReplyDeleteI digiscrap but I am horrible at keeping up!
ReplyDeleteI used to when my first daughter was born but it was so time consuming. I do miss it though.
ReplyDeleteGosh ~ Amazingly enough ~ with all the arts/crafats/projects etc. I've done over the years, scrapbooking is not one I ever tried??!! Have a feeling it's a good thing, because I have a hard time staying on task with things like that ~ my picture albums are now about 6 years behind - help!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could. I am just not that creative. But it is something I want to start doing.
ReplyDeleteI don't scrapbook--although I wish I did. I have a ton of pics just lying around that really need to go into an album of some sort. At least I blog--my son somehow in some way has documentation of his lfe!
ReplyDeleteI don't scrapbook. I would like to, but I just don't have the time.
